What Makes Impact Fitness Systems (IFS) More Than Just a Gym?

Here’s the thing about gyms - they are everywhere. We know that movement is good for us and that everyone needs it in their lives. 

The other thing about gyms? They can feel extremely intimidating. They are filled with a bunch of funny looking equipment. There’s the fear of not knowing what to do when you’re in there and “looking stupid” or, if you’re a parent, there’s the concern that your teenager is going in with their friends and getting hurt. 

So if we know that moving our bodies is key to quality of life and improvement in sport…shouldn’t we enjoy the process of supporting that? Wouldn’t it be easier if there was someone you could always turn to that can assist with that?

The Magic Behind Performance Coaching

We developed the original model for Performance Coaching as a way to bridge the gap between being “on your own” in a commercial setting with the high expense that can come with personal training. As our longest running program, we have seen this model benefit people from the ages of 13 thru their 80s at all skill levels. So what is it?

Every Performance Coaching client begins their IFS experience with a comprehensive movement assessment. This includes a coach reviewing basic movement patterns, discussing goals & timelines, as well as health history. Following the assessment process, our staff develop a custom program that incorporates the data collected from the initial meeting.

So what about the training sessions? Our Performance Coaching program includes unlimited visits to come train with us. Each session is pre-booked using our IFS app so that our coaching staff can prepare for your visit. The workouts themselves comprise of corrective exercises, a warm-up, the primary program, and then conditioning if applicable. 

To call back to that “gym intimidation”...this is where we eliminate that with our coaches. Every movement, every weight selected, every adjustment to the workout - these are all guided by our strength staff to ensure an optimum experience every single time.

What Makes Our Coaches Special?

We are fortunate to have a group of strength coaches that bring next level care to their time with clients. They are able to share their personal experiences with sport & fitness that assist in connecting with those we work with. 

They come in all shapes and sizes (because people are all built differently), from all walks of life, have participated in a variety of sports, and can instill confidence in those walking into gym space because of their genuine personalities. We hire based on a balance of emotional intelligence and knowledge in the field – this includes our coaches having professional level degrees in Exercise Science or a comparable concentration. This combination of all of the

above creates the perfect blend: a coach that is real, cares, and has the knowledge to back success.

Take our client’s word for it!

“In 2019 I had a severe motorcycle accident that resulted in a lower leg amputation. Over the next few years I went through 4 physical therapy routines, with little to no improvement. 

My daughter and wife were members of Impact, and really wanted me to give them a try to improve my mobility and strength. I started with 2 months of personal training with Tawnie. She was amazing. She understood what I wanted, and went above and beyond to make me feel stronger and healthier. Tawnie even did research in her free time to give me exercises customized to my injuries. 

When I got into the open gym Kyle and Maggie started to work their magic too. With all of their knowledge, and not letting me slack off, they’ve helped me make amazing improvements. They all push me to work hard, so I am now feeling stronger and healthier than I ever thought I could. 

I couldn’t be more thankful for Tawnie, Kyle, and Maggie at Impact. They definitely have the most thoughtful and knowledgeable staff. They can do what the others are unable to do, I’m proof.”
